Only Joking, wasnt it once part of the cabinet makers apprenticeship to make his own tool box such as this ?

Lovely toolbox. Wouldn't like to carry that anywhere though. lol

Some old (guessing he's old) bloke somewhere should be proud of that.

I used to repair/ renovate sash windows full time and went through a phase of collecting old tools. Met a retired cabinet maker, guy was approx 80 and went to a car booty once a month. He had a great collection of old hand tools e.g. planes, hags tooth, chisels and even pedal operated grinders.

I bought something every month and have a good collection of old joinery tools I got some old marples chisels (the real marples before Irwin started to trade with the name) robert sorby chisels and some cabinet makers srewdrivers etc. I like the look of the older hand tools with the hard wood handles and brass ferules etc.

Some of the tools this guy had were worth a few bob to collectors too!

I have a wooden carpenters box which I made in 1998. Lol
Real good condition still.
Oh and well made too with dovetail corners etc.

That really is a nice bit of kit. Not sure it would look as nice when Iv covered it in sticky tho :lol:

 

[hillhead]

Just look at the brace and bits in it!!!!
And a set of marking gauges !!!!
Unreal that box, I used to use a lit of them tools....
Served my time then as a wood machinist where I controlled the machines to do the work, lol.

I'd love to see what's in the bottom drawers !
How many of these would be lying up with cobwebs?
